Tell the House To Pass an Unemployment/Payroll Tax Cut Senate Deal or Pass an Acceptable OneThe recent rejection of the payroll tax cuts/unemployment benefits by the House. And the attempts to tie it to the firing of government workers, Oil Industry Pipeline projects, cuts to health care and financial regulations funding, and other pet initiatives. They said we the 99% have no message or focus. Let’s give them one. Let’s come down hard on this one!

Term Limits for CongressThere is far too much incentive for Congresspeople to provide special treatment to special interests at the expense of ordinary Citizens, and this problem has become so great that it is more important than having people "experienced" within the political system. A two-term limit will significantly reduce this incentive, resulting in a Congress that is much more focused on constructive problem-solving for the largest number of Citizens.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Scott Brown

Reduce Government CostsReducing wages and benefits for Government Officials in Congress and the Senate. This would help the deficit, as well as, make it clear to these 'government officials' WE PAY THEIR WAY ! And since they are really not doing the jobs we hired them for....they do not deserve the benefits they're receiving. Let's put government officials on the same level as the people they are SUPPOSED to be representing...NO 'extra benefits' ..no, excused from paying their kid's Student loans, NO Health Benefits unless THEY'RE paying for them,,,especially, AFTER they are 'out of office' ... Then we'll see how much of the 1% THEY want to represent !5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda Fitzgerald

Bankrupting the Nation: Corporate WelfareCorporate welfare is any government spending program that provides unique benefits or advantages to specific companies or industries. Billions of dollars in corporate welfare are given in the form of subsidies, tax discounts, payroll rebates, cash grants, training funds, low-cost loans and leases, free buildings and free land and avoidance of costs of environmental health and safety. Most of this “aid” is given without public knowledge. Examples include the USDA giving $100 million taxpayer dollars yearly to exporters of food and other agricultural products to market their products overseas e.g. Sunkist, Dole, Gallo, Sunsweet; the Department of Commerce ‘s Advanced Tech Program giving $200 million taxpayer dollars anually in research grants to some of the nation's largest high-tech companies; those grants allow private companies to use taxpayer dollars to help them develop and bring to market profitable new products and the Export-Import Bank using $700 million taxpayer dollars/ year to provide subsidized financing to foreign purchasers of U.S. goods.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marianna Tomasino
